A Kenmore dishwasher shares most of its basic parts with other dishwashers, but its filter design, drying system, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. Below are independent repair companies serving Kansas City, with those that mention Kenmore first, then the nearest appliance repair companies.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: KC Water - Water Quality Topics
In Missouri, you can report a problem to the Missouri Attorney General's Office, Consumer Protection.
